It allows you to export your autoplaylist criteria (not the songs themselves, nor manual playlists) into a separate database. You can then use this script to import those criteria into your MM database. This can be used for backing up autoplaylists but cannot be used for transferring them from one database to another as the IDs would not match.

As always, installers for this script can be downloaded from my website!

I'm getting an error running this script: "Error # 2147217900 - Microsoft JET database engine...". Any ideas what I'm doing wrong. Also, any way to integrate the playlist backup with your other Backup script to make it a one step process?

New version (2.0) is now available to download from my website. I have made it compatible with MM3, but nothing has changed in MM2 so no need to upgrade this script if you haven't upgraded your monkey!

In MM3 a component called "LiteX" needs to be installed. The script will attempt to do this automatically but if you have UAC enabled on Vista then this will probably fail. In this case you can manually install the component by right-clicking on a "cmd.exe" shortcut and select "Run as administrator". You should get a black window in which you can enter...

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\sqlite3u.dll"

...although you might need to update the path! After doing this the script should function fully. I have tested with some unicode characters but I don't have many in my library so please let me know if you have any problems.

Ok, now that I got it to work I get this error when running an export:

Nyn

It appears the error is in two of my playlists since they had a name with the apostrophe in it, once I removed it the export worked. Now I have another problem, the backup is not exporting all of my playlists. I have my playlists nested into groups with a total of 153 playlists. In the Playlists table of the main db I have 168 rows, in the Playlists table of the Backup Playlists db I have 27 rows. After comparing the results to my actual playlists, the script is exporting all the autoplaylists but it is only exporting the Parent playlists. It is not exporting the nested static playlists. Any suggestions?? BTW, sorry for making a PITA of myself, AGAIN.

Check the name of your playlists, I had a couple of playlists that started with a ', once I changed it the script ran successfully. I only ran into this with the playlists which started with the apostrophe, I don't know if it will create a problem for those with the apostrophe in the middle because none of my nested playlists are being exported.
